Current report
Effective January 31, 2026, the first day of fiscal 2027, we completed a business reorganization that consolidated our five previous business groups into three. The reorganization was designed to simplify our organization structure and optimize operations and customer focus for growth. The consolidated business groups will be led by three Executive Vice Presidents. The three business groups will continue to report directly to our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The reorganization did not have an impact on our reportable segments.
Current report
In February 2026, the President signed an appropriations package that finalized full-year funding for all government agencies with the exception of the Department of Homeland Security ("DHS"). As a result, the DHS was shut down from February 2026 through April 2026. In April 2026, the President signed a bill to fund substantially all the DHS, ending the shutdown. The bill provides full-year funding for all DHS functions except Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. All agencies and functions funded by those bills will now be covered in full through September 30, 2026, the close of government fiscal year 2026.
Current report
Revenues. Revenues increased $29 million for the three months ended May 1, 2026 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to revenues from the acquisition of SilverEdge Government Solutions ("SilverEdge") of $19 million and ramp up in volume on existing and new contracts, partially offset by contract completions. Adjusting for the acquisition of SilverEdge, revenues grew by approximately 0.5%.
Current report
Operating Income. Operating income as a percentage of revenues for the three months ended May 1, 2026 increased from the comparable prior year period primarily due to improved profitability across our contract portfolio and a $12 million gain from the sale of an investment in the current year.
Current report
Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate was 20.9% and 20.6% for the three months ended May 1, 2026 and May 2, 2025, respectively. The rate for both periods was below our combined federal and state statutory tax rate, primarily due to research and development tax credits and the tax deduction for foreign-derived deduction eligible income.
Current report
Revenues. Revenues increased $33 million for the three months ended May 1, 2026 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to revenues from the acquisition of SilverEdge of $19 million and ramp up in volume on existing and new contracts, partially offset by contract completions.

Previous report
On October 15, 2025, we acquired SilverEdge Government Solutions ("SilverEdge"), an innovative provider of mission-driven technology solutions and products, for a preliminary purchase price of $203 million, net of $6 million cash acquired, subject to post-closing adjustments. The acquisition advances our strategy to provide mission focused, IP-based solutions and commercial products to our customers.
Previous report
In July 2025, Congress passed a budget reconciliation package that will add approximately $150 billion in new non-border defense spending, and $175 billion in new border security and enforcement spending, among other provisions. This funding is available to agencies immediately, and can be used through GFY 2029. Portions of this new funding will increase spending in areas addressable to us, including new investments in Naval operations and border surveillance. The measure also extended and expanded key tax provisions that will positively impact our Company.
Previous report
On October 1, 2025, the federal government shut down following the expiration of the March 2025 CR. On November 12, 2025, the President signed a spending agreement that officially reopened the government after 43 days. The agreement includes three full-year appropriations bills, including the Agriculture-FDA, Military Construction-Veterans Affairs, and Legislative Branch packages. All agencies and functions funded by those bills will now be covered in full through September 30, 2026, the close of GFY 2026.
Previous report
All remaining agencies have resumed operations under a CR that runs through January 30, 2026. If Congress is not able to pass the remaining appropriations by that date, it could potentially lead to a partial or full government shutdown affecting any outstanding unfunded agencies. Any additional delay in funding could negatively impact our business operations, revenues, cash flows, and profitability.
Previous report
As part of the budget reconciliation package signed into law in July 2025, the federal debt limit was increased by $5 trillion. This is expected to extend protection from a potential government default until at least the end of calendar year 2026.
Previous report
Revenues. Revenues decreased $110 million and $129 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to ramp down in volume on existing contracts, including approximately $16 million attributable to the government shutdown, and contract completions, partially offset by new contracts. Revenues recognized from the acquisition of SilverEdge for the three months ended October 31, 2025 were immaterial.
Previous report
Operating Income. Operating income as a percentage of revenues for the three months ended October 31, 2025 decreased from the comparable prior year period primarily due to executive transition costs, net of recoveries, and the favorable resolution of the Assault Amphibious Vehicle ("AAV") contract termination in the prior year ($14 million), partially offset by timing and volume mix in our contract portfolio.
Previous report
Operating income as a percentage of revenues for the nine months ended October 31, 2025 decreased from the comparable prior year period primarily due to executive transition costs, net of recoveries, the favorable resolution of the AAV contract termination in the prior year ($14 million), and costs related to the settlement of federal tax audits, partially offset by a recovery of costs from the settlement of a patent infringement matter (see Note 12—Legal Proceedings and Other Commitments and Contingencies for additional information) and timing and volume mix in our contract portfolio.
Previous report
Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate was 16.7% and 5.2% for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025 and 15.6% and 17.8% for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended October 31, 2025 increased compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the impacts of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“the Act”). The effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 31, 2025 decreased compared to the same period last year primarily due to a $47 million benefit from an IRS audit settlement, pending final administrative approvals, covering fiscal years 2016 through 2019, and reductions in liabilities for uncertain tax positions for the remaining open tax years.
Previous report
Additionally, our effective tax rate further differs from the statutory tax rate due to research and development tax credits and tax benefits from employee share-based compensation.
Previous report
In December 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) enacted a 15% global minimum tax framework (“Pillar Two”) which became effective in certain jurisdictions beginning in fiscal 2024. While U.S. adoption is uncertain, several countries where we operate have implemented it, and others are in the process of adopting. We do not anticipate Pillar Two to have a significant impact on our effective tax rate or our condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
Previous report
Adjusted operating income. Adjusted operating income as a percentage of revenues for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025 decreased compared to the comparable prior year period primarily due to timing and volume mix in our contract portfolio and the favorable resolution of the AAV contract termination in the prior year ($14 million).
Previous report
Revenues. Revenues decreased $34 million and $9 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to ramp down in volume on existing contracts and contract completions, partially offset by new contracts.
Previous report
Adjusted operating loss decreased $6 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a recovery of costs from the settlement of a patent infringement matter, partially offset by higher other selling, general and administrative expenses.
Previous report
During the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we issued unsecured senior notes through a private offering and amended our Credit Facility. See Note 7—Debt Obligations to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained within this report for additional information.

Previous wording
During the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025, we generated 98% of our revenues from contracts with the U.S. government, including subcontracts on which we perform. Our business performance is affected by the overall level of U.S. government spending and the alignment of our offerings and capabilities with the budget priorities of the U.S. government. In March 2025, the President signed a continuing resolution ("CR") that extends government funding through the close of government fiscal year ("GFY") 2025. The measure provides budget certainty for agencies through September 30, 2025. The CR also provides flexibility for new starts on programs at the DoW, which are typically not allowed under CRs.

Previous wording
The U.S. government administration has put in place a number of executive orders and actions which could affect our business. In addition, the Department of Government Efficiency is driving changes in the structure and priorities of Federal agencies. Agencies are conducting comprehensive reviews of existing and new contracting activity to identify potential efficiencies or nonalignment with new Administration priorities. Our contracts have been, and will continue to be, subject to these reviews. We have not experienced a material financial statement impact from recent executive orders or program cancellations across the government. However, ongoing reductions in personnel, changes in agency alignment, required reviews of new contracting activity, decreases or delays in new or existing contract awards and in government spending on the types of programs that we support, and terminations or stop-work-orders and delay in funding on government contracts on which we are currently performing could adversely affect our future revenues, cash flows, and profitability.

Previous wording
On July 4, 2025, the Act was enacted, introducing several significant changes to U.S. corporate income tax law. One key provision of the Act is the permanent reinstatement of the immediate expensing of U.S. research and development expenditures. Based on our interpretation, the Act results in an increase to our income taxes receivable with an offsetting decrease to our deferred tax assets and an immaterial increase to our effective tax rate for the year. These changes are reflected in our current period effective tax rate. We are awaiting interpretive guidance from the IRS, and therefore the current estimated impacts of the Act are subject to change.

Previous wording
Adjusted operating income. Adjusted operating income is a performance measure that primarily excludes the impact of non-recurring transactions and activities that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Adjusted operating income is calculated by taking operating income and excluding depreciation and amortization, acquisition, integration, restructuring, and impairment costs, and any other material non-recurring costs. Acquisition, integration, restructuring and impairment costs represent costs incurred related to acquisitions, the reorganization, facilities optimization efforts, and impairments of long-lived assets, along with associated depreciation. Recovery of acquisition, integration, restructuring and impairment costs represents costs recovered through our indirect rates in accordance with Cost Accounting Standards. Depreciation of property, plant, and equipment relates to property, plant, and equipment specifically identifiable for each segment. Adjusted operating income also excludes amortization of intangible assets because we do not have a history of significant acquisition activity, we do not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, and the amount of an acquisition's purchase price allocated to intangible assets and the related amortization term are unique to each acquisition. Costs related to the settlement of federal tax audits represent costs related to the IRS audit settlement for fiscal years 2016 through 2019. Executive transition costs, net of recoveries, represent costs associated with the immediate departure of our CEO and other executives, net of the portion recovered through our indirect rates in accordance with Cost Accounting Standards. We believe that this performance measure provides management and investors with useful information in assessing trends in our ongoing operating performance and may provide greater visibility in understanding our long-term financial performance.

Previous wording
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities. Cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended October 31, 2025 decreased $28 million compared to the prior year primarily due to timing of vendor payments, lower cash inflows from the usage of the Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement ("MARPA Facility") in the current year, and other changes in working capital, partially offset by timing of customer collections, lower cash taxes paid, and lower incentive-based compensation payments in the current year.

Previous wording
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended October 31, 2025 increased $222 million compared to the prior year primarily due to $203 million of cash paid in the current year for the acquisition of SilverEdge, net of cash acquired (see Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements) and proceeds from the sale of equity method investments in the prior year.
Current wording
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities.
